3. The combination of a jar having a channel at its upper end, a cover having a rim or ilange extending into said channel. and sealing material such as para'lin, said channel being formed of sui'licient capacity to contain a charge of said material which will pass into the jar and form an inner seal or Wafer for the mouth of the jar and whereby a seal will be formed between the cover -lange and jarneck.
